this week, first demolishing the Sexsmith Vipers 5-1 Friday night, then defeating the Grande Prairie JDA Kings 2-1 Saturday. The Flyers racked up two goals against the Vipers before Sexsmith could reply. Zac Schachter found the net off assists from Logan Mazerolle and Tristyn Corliss in the first minute of play and several minutes later, the new guy on the team, Tyler Wirth, hit the twine with assists from Erin Dentinger and Mattias Jacobsson. About a minute later, the Vipers found the net, Gavin Huber making the delivery assisted by Quinten Shofner and Blain Moskalyk. Taking advantage of a power play, Jacobsson sent the puck home off an assist from Kyle Cairns to give the Flyers a two-point lead. In the second period, it took till past the halfway mark, but Wirth found the net again, assist from Schlachter. Several minutes after that, Liam Yasinski put the puck in the back of the net with assists from Remee Richard and Tanner Dei to make the score 5-1 and there was no further scoring in the third period. Saturday, the Flyers came on strong in the first period but earned only one point, with Dentinger making the delivery, assists from Corliss and Jacobsson. Early in the second period, Dentinger hit the twine again, assist from Corliss. The Kings responded several minutes later with their only goal of the game, delivered on a powerplay by Tyler Bueckert, assists from Austin Hrehoruk and Jaiden LaPorte. Both teams were pushing hard for another goal, the Kings pulled their goalie in the final minute of the game to put another skater on the ice, but neither team was able to score and the game ended with the Flyers ahead 2-1. Coach Lance Wiebe was quite happy with the results and said that after their last week’s away game, he decided to change his strategy a bit and speak to players individually about adjustments he wanted to see, rather than addressing comments to the entire team. He said that while the team came on strong in the first period, they were a bit winded in the second and he had to ask players to make adjustments. He commented that he was happy with how they made those adjustments. One player who played a key part was goalie Dylan DeRose, who hadn’t had much ice time before but played very well, according to Wiebe. Wiebe said they like to give newer players a chance to play when they will be successful and as it was both teams second game in a row, he felt play would be a bit slower and easier to handle. With 35 shots on goal, DeRose stopped 34 of them, which seems like a good game for the new kid on the block.
